Chapter 40: The Sad Liang Yinning

The preview of "The Strategy of the Five Blessings Stars" was very successful, so the publicity was quickly rolled out. Buses, advertising bars, and subway stations were covered with posters of the movie, and advertisements were also published in newspapers.

Hong Kong movies of this era were not very popular before they were officially released, because Hong Kong is too small and it was a bit disturbing. Everyone knows that it is not cost-effective to invest large-scale publicity. Generally speaking, the promotional funds of the film account for about 5% or less of the box office revenue, which is very different from the promotion of Hollywood movies in a promotional war style.

After three trials, "The Strategy of the Five Blessings" was soon officially launched on Jiahe Cinema, and the attendance rate on the first and second day reached 90%.

Based on the average attendance rate with a good start, even if it deteriorates in the future, the box office in the first week will be at least more than five million.

"The development momentum of our movie is really good, and the final box office is probably reaching 10 million." Lin Liwei said happily on the dinner table at the dinner. He had been paying close attention to this movie today and went to the company to inquire about the situation, so he knew it clearly.

"Ten million, is it really that powerful?" Lin Yan was holding an oily chicken leg in his hand, and was about to stuff it into his mouth. When he heard the number of ten million, he even forgot to eat the chicken leg and screamed.

How amazing is a movie with a box office of 10 million yuan?

This year, among the movies that have been released in 1982, there are a total of six movies with a box office of over 10 million yuan.

"Best Partner" starring Xu Guanjie, Mecca and Aijia Zhang, more than 26 million, "Brothers in the Defeat" by Shi Tian, ​​Shuang Aijia and Chung Chuhong, more than 16 million, "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li, more than 16 million, "Beware of Little Hands" starring Hong Xinbao, more than 11 million, "Young Master Dragon" starring Cheng Long, and "Beautiful Girl" starring Lin Biqi and Wen Bixia.

In other words, as long as the box office of "The Five Blessings Stars" exceeds 10 million, the annual box office list can temporarily rank seventh. By early August, at least fifty movies have been released in Hong Kong.

"It should be OK!"

Rumble...

"Who is here?" Lin Yan heard the roar of the vehicle's engine suddenly sounded in the yard. He ignored the chicken stuffed in his mouth and said a whimper and was about to go out to see it.

"I'll go, it's probably your sister Yinning." Lin Jing had already remembered this familiar car sound in her mind.

"Sister Yinning has gone to Taiwan. She said she would go there for more than half a month. Why did she come back in just a few days?" Lin Si interrupted.

Lin Jing hurried out of the restaurant and immediately saw Liang Yining coming as an arrow, then suddenly stopped in front of the door because the tires and the cement floor were rubbing too violently, and even when he breathed, he could smell the smell of glue.

"Are you racing here again?" Lin Jing was about to blame her, but she saw Liang Yining not getting off the car, but instead lay on the steering wheel.

"Yinning?" Lin Jing was startled. She thought Liang Yining was injured when she braked too quickly. She shouted and rushed forward to check.

When she walked over and opened the car door and looked closely, she found that Liang Yining was lying on the steering wheel, just sobbing softly, and her shoulders were shaking as she sobbed. In fact, it was not as hurt as she imagined.

"What happened?" Lin Jing gently stroked Liang Yining's shoulder and asked softly.

"I..." Liang Yining then raised her head, her eyes were already red from crying, and even slightly swollen. Her bloodless face was covered with tears. She said the word "I" hoarsely and could no longer speak.

"Get down first." Lin Jing helped her remove the seat belt and then helped her get out of the car.

After Liang Yining got out of the car, she seemed to have no backbone. Lin Jing could only support her and slowly walked into the house.

"Sister Yinning, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yan saw Liang Yinning's sad expression, as if he was being helped by his sister like a child, and wanted to come over to help, but when he saw that his hands were all greasy, he hesitated and asked.

"You guys have dinner, I'll go up with her."

He sent Liang Yining to the attic and helped her to the bed and sat down against the edge of the bed. Lin Jing poured a cup of warm boiled water and put it on her hand, saying, "Hold on the cup, don't fall to the ground and smash it."

She was sure that Liang Yining had grabbed the cup, and she also sat beside her, leaned against Liang Yining, and then asked a few questions. But Liang Yining just sat there and cried silently, but said nothing.

Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk!

Lin Jing opened the door and saw that it was her younger brother.

"Sister, phone number." Lin Yan said softly, as if afraid of disturbing Liang Yining.

"Yinning, I'll answer the phone and come back soon. You sit here and don't move, do you know?" Lin Jing walked to Liang Yining after hearing this, and then went downstairs.

"Hey, hello, I am Lin Jing, who is it?" Lin Jing picked up the microphone.

"I'm..." The male voice in the microphone hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm Yining's father. Is she with you now?"

"Yes."

"She, isn't she?"

"It's nothing, I'm just crying sadly!"

"Oh—" Yinning's father sighed and said, "I often heard Yinning mention you, so I know you are very good friends. I know she won't listen to anything I say now, so I ask you to help me take care of her for the time being. When my mother and I resolve the matter, I will come and pick her up immediately. Is it OK?"

"Um."

...

Putting down the microphone, Lin Jing stood there for a long time.

"Ajing, you haven't had enough supper just now, and Yinning probably hasn't had supper yet. You can bring it up and have something with her." Lin Liwei walked over with a tray full of food.

"Okay." Lin Jing nodded and took the tray and walked upstairs.

Lin Jing brought a low small round table to the bed, then placed the food on the tray on it. Seeing that Liang Yining was still there, she shook her head helplessly and dragged her to the small round table with one hand. A bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks were stubbornly stuffed into her hand, and said in a commanding tone: "Eat soon, you can only cry after you have enough."

When he saw Liang Yining still there, he looked like a beautiful doll, Lin Jing had to solve the problem in the way she was good at and said viciously: "Eat immediately. Don't you often say that you are not the daughter of the daughter who can eat? So don't force me to feed you, otherwise, those cows are sick and don't drink medicine, but they are filled with potions in bamboo tubes."

"You are the sick cow. I'm heartbroken now. If you don't comfort me, you will say that!" Liang Yining didn't know whether she was angry by Lin Jing's metaphor, or was amused, and she cried and laughed.

"Do you want to talk? Look at you, I feel so sorry for the pear blossoms that bring rain. I feel sad and sad."

"How could you comfort people like this?"

"Okay, I won't comfort you anymore. I won't feel tired after crying and laughing. Eat quickly. If you don't eat, I'll be hungry."
