Dad, Please Try a Little Harder - Chapter 178

  Chapter 178 Finale!

   Years later, Ding Linlang’s “Que Xian” was officially completed.

   Next, I will update a little extra, and then I will start to rest and prepare for the new book.

   At the same time, the adaptation of the script of “Quexian” also started.

   For Qian Quan, the copyright of the novel has been sold, 20 million yuan for film and television dramas plus games, and the appointment with the master of the source Chinese website has also been confirmed.

  In addition, “The Grandmaster Ip Man” has been completed and is in the intense post-production process. The current plan is to release it in time for the summer.

  In this movie, Qian Quan’s roles have been increased, and the friendship is almost added to the male lead.

  The investors and producers are not stupid. With Qian Quan’s current popularity and influence, it only costs 3 million yuan, and the price-performance ratio should not be too high.

  Actually, after the movie “Sister” was officially launched, Qian Quan was given a role as the guest star of the Go club president.

  In the movie, he is both his sister’s senior and her sister’s Go master.

  As his first film to participate in the investment, he also invited his father to join in the investment. Qian Quan is duty-bound, and he readily agreed.

  …

  Time is like water, winter goes to spring and returns, spring goes to summer and returns.

   During the summer vacation of my sophomore year, “The Grand Master Ip Man” was released.

  The popularity of its own subject matter and Qian Quan has always been one of the main promotions, full of gimmicks, and the box office pre-sale results are quite excellent.

  Many people bought movie tickets with the mentality of “I just want to see how Qian Quan fights Wing Chun and Ip Man”.

  Qian Quan had watched the sample earlier, and personally rated it as 6.5 for literary and opera, 8.5 for martial arts, and an overall score of 7.5.

  Professional martial arts instructor + professional action actor + professional martial arts master, this lineup is not far behind in the ranks of the best action movies in the past.

  Actually, more than 80% of the positive part of the first wave of film reviews were boasting about action scenes, and most of these 80% were boasting about money and power.

  Because he plays so well, some people say that his chic movements are comparable to Jet Li at his peak.

  The key is that he plays convincingly. For example, when he kicks a big man flying seven or eight meters, everyone subconsciously thinks, yes, he can really do it.

  The artistic exaggeration of the movie and the legendary color of reality overlap perfectly at this moment.

  This kind of movie-watching experience is really comfortable.

   “I doubt that Qian Quan’s action scenes don’t need to be done in the later stage. I feel that he can really do those actions in the movie.”

   “The fight between Qian Quan and Brother Hu in the rain can be ranked in the top five of the top ten scenes of action dramas. It’s so exciting! Just this part is worth half of the ticket price!”

   “What’s great about Qian Quan is that even in Ip Man’s big movie, the director didn’t arrange for the hero to beat him, and it ended in a tie.”

   “The main reason is that Jia Yanhu really can’t beat Qian Quan, but he can’t arrange for Ye Man to lose to Wang Jiu (played by Qian Quan). A tie is the best.”

   “The action scenes in this movie are so good that I can ignore the slightly weak literary drama.”

  …

  On the whole, the big movie “The Grandmaster Ip Man” has basically achieved acclaim and popularity. Although the box office is not a phenomenon-level hit, it has been strong all the way, and the trend is not inferior to the first one.

  Several professional ticket buying websites have drawn the total box office forecast line to 1.5 billion.

  If these 15 small goals are achieved, the movie will be able to make a steady profit in theaters, and when the movie is released and launched on a video website, it will be a huge income.

  178. Finale

  The producer is already preparing for the celebration banquet.

  For Qian Quan, the first electric shock, that is, a small success, can be regarded as a good start for him to pursue his dream in the entertainment industry.

   More importantly, he not only demonstrated his talent in action director and action actor in this movie, but also gained real fame and benefits.

  The producer of this film had a private chat with Qian Quan, expressing his gratitude and promising to give him a big red envelope in the future.

  Packing red envelopes is an old tradition in the film industry. Investors invest in movies that make a lot of money, and reward red envelopes will be given to participants.

  ”The Grandmaster Ip Man” was able to achieve a good start from the beginning of its release, which is closely related to Qian Quan’s participation.

   Moreover, with Qian Quan’s current prestige and potential, if he establishes a good relationship, he will also be a great network in the future.

  The summer vacation is halfway through, and the total box office of “The Grand Master Ip Man” has successfully exceeded 1.5 billion. The film’s main cast and production company gave Qian Quan a red envelope of 1 million.

   And Qian Quan is “acting in friendship” on the crew of “Sister” at this time.

   After getting in touch with the director of this movie, Qian Quan has more confidence in this movie.

  Keep improving and pay attention to details, know how to express emotions, but not deliberately sensational, there is a kind of restraint that stops.

   Very secure.

  Before the end of the summer vacation, the movie “Sister” was finished. According to the schedule, it is not a big problem to set the file for New Year’s Day.

  After the beginning of autumn, the S+ project “Quexian” officially announced the hero and heroine, and started the first round of campaigning. Of course, the unabated Qian Quan was once again promoted.

   Fortunately, Mu Hongying was very careful and did not create any uncomfortable hype.

   Of course, there are considerations for the emotions of the male and female protagonists and their fans.

   After all, in today’s entertainment industry, fan position is a must for fans.

  Let’s not talk about Pujie’s works, everyone doesn’t want to admit that they are one, and want to pin the blame on the other party.

  For popular works, one, two, three, and four must be scored.

  For example, the size of each character in the poster has to be stated, otherwise fans will not agree.

   In this play, Qian Quan Company will provide services such as performance, martial arts guidance, and script writing for the play.

  His role is okay, similar to the nature of a cameo, a setting is very important, but an NPC with not many roles, at most it is a friendly performance, and it will not steal the limelight from the protagonist—

  Of course, if you rob them, you have to endure it.

  Qian Quan himself is a national-level athlete, and now he has the glory of a small blockbuster movie, and brings capital and technology to the group, bringing original authors into the group, which can be called a figure at the capital level.

  In addition, his own traffic and popularity are no worse than those top streamers, but any team that knows a little bit will not let their fans tear themselves on him.

  Third year, the new book of Xiang Tiange, a newcomer to Yuanyuan Chinese website, has completed the new book, and the new book “Between Close, Like My Warm Sun” by Yitong Chinese website author Manmu Linlang has begun to be serialized.

  This is a modern romance novel, and it is also a story of a childhood sweetheart, with a timeline from campus to workplace.

  According to Lin Lang’s outline plan, the number of words in this book will not be too many, about 300,000 words—just the size of a live TV series.

  There is no doubt that the film and television copyright of this book is exclusively owned by Stone Culture Company.

  But with the start of filming of “The Immortal”, Lin Lang’s new book has become a favorite in the eyes of film and television companies.

  The theme of puppetry, like ancient puppets, is also a popular theme for film and television drama adaptations.

  Easy to speculate on CP, easy to talk about, easy to promote newcomers, and easy to promote a popular male number three…

  Therefore, not long after Lin Lang’s new book was uploaded, six companies successively came to inquire about film and television copyright, including Penguin Video, one of the three major platforms.

  They want to buy out the copyright to make a self-made drama.

  Qian Quan originally wanted to wait for “Que Xian” to go live before discussing the copyright of Ding Linlang’s new book, film and television. At that time, not only can he negotiate a high price, but it will be easier to attract investment, resources, and business.

   Unexpectedly, Penguin Video directly dropped a number to Qian Quan, disrupting Qian Quan’s established plan.

   That was an unpretentious eight-figure quote.

  The point is that Ding Linlang has only written less than 30,000 words in his new book.

  Penguin Video’s way of talking about business by throwing money at people is too simple and rude!

  If it wasn’t because Qian Quan was not short of money now, and the book belonged to his girlfriend, he really wanted to agree immediately as the boss.

  He replied to Penguin Video, saying that he would first discuss it with other shareholders of the company (Ding Linlang) and the author (also Ding Linlang).

  So, he told Ding Linlang about Penguin’s offer.

   “Your hesitation for half a second is disrespect for the tens of millions.” Ding Linlang said after seeing the offer.

   “But didn’t we agree that we would participate in the production of this book?” Qian Quan said.

   “Yes, but they give too much.”

   Of course Qian Quan knew that Ding Linlang was joking. Although she wrote the book, she still respected Qian Quan’s opinion on how to develop and operate it later.

   “Well, let’s make a bet with Penguin, participate in the production and screenwriting, and then negotiate the share ratio based on advertising fees, broadcast data and drainage data.”

   “Well, no problem.” Ding Linlang agreed.

  Qian Quan turned around and synchronized the decision of Stone Culture’s board of directors to Penguin Video, but he didn’t expect that they agreed immediately.

   Although there are risks in betting against each other, listing the name of the product can give the company a reputation.

  The most important thing is that Qian Quan and Ding Linlang have confidence in this work.

  …

  In the blink of an eye, autumn came to the east, and at the end of December, the movie “Sister” began to be screened.

   The word-of-mouth was unsurprisingly positive, and the managers of the various theaters who were invited to watch the movie in advance also gave their thumbs up.

  Qian Quan himself gave the movie an 8.5 objectively, while Ding Linlang, who cried while watching it, gave the movie a full score subjectively.

   At 6 pm on December 31, the movie will be released in advance.

  That night, the first wave of word-of-mouth of the film began to ferment on social networks.

   “How we should spend this life, this movie actually vaguely told me the answer, and I burst into tears at the end!! Five-star recommendation!”

   “Remember to bring tissues! Remember to bring tissues! Remember to bring tissues!”

   “A restrained but not deliberately sensational movie that almost made me cry and hit me completely!”

   “Other parts are okay, seeing the reactions of parents and uncle at the end, I really live in Bengbu!”

  “I have a 5,000-word video, but I don’t think these two words can represent my mood better: go watch it!”

   “I divide the good-looking of movies into three levels, good-looking, really good-looking, and really good-looking. The movie “Sister” ranks third!”

   “I love this movie so much! There are no villains and villains, and all the staff are kind, crying and healing!”

   “The sister in the movie is like a light, shining on everyone, including you and me in front of the movie screen!”

  …

  It is expected that the film has a good reputation, but the word-of-mouth has fermented to this point, which is somewhat beyond the expectations of the producer and the main creators.

  The explosive word-of-mouth was quickly reflected in the next day’s box office.

  On the first day of New Year’s Day, the pre-sales of “Sister” quickly soared from 12 million to 30 million. The prime shows in many theaters were sold out during the day, and people on the phone and in the audience kept coming to buy tickets.

  Countless examples prove that if a movie wants to become a big hit, the audience’s praise and free promotion of tap water are the only way, and it is the best and cheapest marketing method.

  For example, the animation film with the highest net income in domestic film history was promoted by word-of-mouth from the audience.

  The box office of “Sister” on the first day of New Year’s Day was finally fixed at 80 million, but the pre-sales on the second day had climbed to the first place. The professional box office APP directly set a total box office forecast of 1.5 billion.

  If the prediction is accurate, Qian Quan and Qian Wenlin will get more than 10 times the investment income this time.

   And the box office trend in the next few days gave everyone an even bigger surprise.

  The single-day box office of the New Year’s Day holiday has exceeded 100 million in a row, and the total box office at the end of the holiday is close to 400 million. It has fully recovered, and the box office forecast on the APP has also been adjusted to 1.9 billion.

  A movie with such a small cost can achieve such results, in addition to its excellent quality, its sincere emotions, and the kind of warmth and gentle emotions expressed in the movie are in line with the warmth and gentleness of the Chinese people, and resonated with the audience.

  The love between father and daughter, mother and daughter, husband and wife, siblings, classmates, lovers and relatives involved in this movie is real and touching, warm and cheerful.

   It can be said that it has extracted the beautiful part of Chinese human feelings to express.

  And the awe and love of human beings for life presented by the heroine in the movie sublimates the theme to another level.

   What’s even more rare is that the whole movie, from the beginning to the end, doesn’t make any sense or shout slogans, just let you watch the movie and feel those emotions naturally.

  When professional filmmakers analyze blockbuster movies, the two words they often mention are emotion and resonance.

  People have emotional needs to be amused, moved, shocked, and excited.

  Whoever can do this, the audience will pay for it.

  When the winter vacation came, the box office of “Sister” officially exceeded 2 billion, which was almost 15 times the investment income.

  That is to say, Qian Quan’s stone culture can get about 200 million, and Qian Wenlin’s Hualin culture can get about 4.3 million after tax.

  When Qian Wenlin got the split, he couldn’t believe it.

   I don’t believe that I can earn so much, I don’t believe that I can earn so fast.

   “Is the money coming in so fast for investing in movies?”

  Qian Wenlin was so emotional.

  Although his son is now a billionaire, it was his son who earned it through his own efforts.

   And the 4.3 million is actually his own investment income!

   The sense of accomplishment is different.

  As for Qian Quan, after getting the 200 million share, the system prompt in his mind also came:

  【Ding, the system has detected that your father invested in movies and earned 4.3 million in income, and will reward you with 43 million! 】

   That’s right, this is the invisible income of Qian Quan.

   On the surface, it seems that he is looking for a good project and pulling his father to invest and make money together.

   In fact, it was still Dad who took him to make money.

  …

  After the end of their junior year, the college life of Qian Quan and Ding Linlang has come to an end.

  After entering the senior year, apart from those who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and the editorial examination, other students have to start thinking about job hunting.

  The university life in the ivory tower came to an end, and began to enter the social university.

  Qian Quan and Ding Linlang don’t need to look for a job, but their company is about to start recruiting more employees.

  Because Ding Linlang was not in charge of the company’s actual business, Qian Jiamin successfully became the company’s vice president, in charge of the company’s daily business.

   When the company is fully staffed, Qian Jiamin will be the president and Qian Quan will be the chairman.

  …

  May is the season of graduation.

   On the day of taking graduation photos, Fudan campus did not have so many feelings of parting.

  The students who put on their academic uniforms are still full of vigor.

  Scholar hats flying all over the sky fell from the sky like rain.

  Everyone saw a group of birds flying across the sky, and a helicopter.

   There was a whoosh, and two vertical banners hung down: “Ding Linlang Happy Graduation” was written on one side, and “I, Qian Quan, wants to marry you” was written on the other.

  Ding Linlang was stunned for a long while, thinking about it, but didn’t understand why her boyfriend, who was always low-key, made a conspicuous bag and gave herself such a big surprise.

  But seeing the other party kneeling on one knee and taking out a ring to propose, how could she say no.

   “You once said that if your future husband is a hero of the world, even if he doesn’t come to marry you on the colorful auspicious clouds, he will at least drive a helicopter.”

  Memories suddenly struck, and there were tears sliding down his face.

   Together they boarded the helicopter and flew to the promised land of happiness.

  After graduation, Ding Linlang and Qian Quan had a lively wedding.

  At the wine table, the father-in-law was so drunk that he called Qian Quan brothers.

   None of the four adults were sentimental, after all, Shitou and Linlang were their CPs since childhood.

  happy ending is the rightful ending.

  At the wedding night, Qian Quan threw Durex into the drawer.

  From today, he will have children with Ding Linlang.

  …

  …

   “If it’s a boy, I’ll call it Qian Rong Oak, if it’s a girl, I’ll call it Qian Rong Oak, how about it?”

  Zhonghai, Jingyi District, Tingshi No. 1 Courtyard, Qian Quan wrote a whole page of names in the notebook, but was not satisfied, and finally decided to use the characters of oak and banyan to name his and Ding Linlang’s upcoming Three Treasures.

   “Qian Oak Rong, thriving… yes.” Ding Linlang has already tacitly agreed that the second treasure in her stomach is a girl.

   Now she and Qian Quan already have a son named Qian Kang, who is three years old this year, so they want to have a daughter for their second child.

  Three months later, Qian Oakong was born.

  Qian Quan and Ding Linlang were delighted to have their wish fulfilled, but Qian Kang was also very happy to have a younger sister.

  After becoming parents, Qian Quan and Ding Linlang suddenly discovered that time began to move forward in another form, and the time axis of their conversation and narrative changed.

  They are used to anchoring the time node when Qian Kang was a few months or a few years old, and now they add Qian Oakong.

  [Tiger Father No Dog Subsystem] still fulfilled his obligations dutifully and responsibly, and did not stop because Qian Quan had long been financially free.

   Until the summer vacation when Qian Kang graduated from high school.

  Dad made 1.5 million investment in a clothing store, but the system prompt in his mind didn’t ring again.

  Qian Quan knew that the system had completed its mission.

  And he is already a bigwig in the fields of science and technology, literature and art, and sports.

   Time to rest and enjoy life.

  It’s time to travel around the world with my wife Ding Linlang.

   “Kangkang, Oak Rong, your mother and I are going to go on a trip for a month to experience the retirement life in advance, so we won’t be taking you two this time.”

  Qian Quan said to his son and daughter face to face.

  The caring little padded jacket Qian Oakong naturally agreed with a smile, reminding parents to pay attention to safety, diet and sleep.

   As for his son Qian Kang…

   “Dad, it’s okay for you and my mother to travel and rest, but it’s too early to say retirement, you are not yet forty years old.

   “According to the current average life expectancy and education cycle of human beings, 20 has not yet graduated from college, 30 is weak, and 40 is standing.”

   Hearing these seemingly similar words, Qian Quan looked at his elder son with sharp eyes suddenly!

  …
