Chapter 300: Football Hooligans and British Box Office(1/3)

"Xiao Wang, what are you thinking about?"

Wang Hailin passed by the guard room with his head lowered and was stopped by Uncle Zhou. Because he joined the werewolf game group, Uncle Zhou had been getting closer to Wang Hailin recently. Seeing that he was worried, he asked.

"Hey, I want to write a novel." Wang Hailin shook his head and sighed. After chatting with Yu Dong, he went back to start writing, but when he actually wrote it, he found that it was not that easy.

There are some fragmentary plots in my mind, but either I can't connect them together, or I just write them down and feel that they don't feel right and boring.

For example, some plots seem reasonable at first glance, but upon closer analysis, they feel unreasonable.

"Novel? Whose novel?" Uncle Zhou asked.

"Mine."

"You write novels?" Uncle Zhou's surprise was written on his face, "Did Teacher Yu give you homework? No, what grade are you in, and Teacher Yu gave you homework? And the homework assigned by Teacher Yu are all prose.

I won't let you write novels or anything like that."

Not to mention, Uncle Zhou is a janitor, and he is very familiar with the teaching situation of the theater creation major.

"It's not an assignment. I want to write it myself. It's a long mystery novel. Isn't this a problem? I don't know where to start."

Wang Hailin had nothing to hide from Uncle Zhou, so he told him roughly what had happened. After listening, Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "It's good to write a novel. When your novel is published, I will send him the copy of your novel."

The magazines are placed on the top row of the bookshelf. You are right, Teacher Yu, just write about things on campus, because you are familiar with them and it is relatively easy to write them."

"It's such a rationale, but it's still not easy to write it down." Wang Hailin scratched his head in distress.

"You, I still don't see you enough. I've seen too many campus murders like that. I can't count them on both hands. There are murders of love, vendettas, and murders because of trivial matters."

"Really?" Wang Hailin didn't believe it. Uncle Zhou was good at everything but just liked to brag.

"What's the point of lying to you? There was an associate professor in a school who had a problem with his style and had an affair with a female student. Later, the female student asked him to divorce him and he refused. The woman took advantage of the man at the back door.

Without paying attention, he stabbed him with a knife and then committed suicide."

"What about our school?"

"It's been so long, I can't even remember which school I went to."

"Uh, is there anything else?"

"Yes." Uncle Zhou smiled, "But I'm at work right now, and I don't have time to chat with you one by one."

Wang Hailin was also sensible and said hurriedly, "Uncle, when you take over your shift in the evening, I will invite you to have a drink, and we can talk while drinking."

"Oh, it's just a few stories, okay, I'll wait for you tonight."



After "The Second World" was released in the UK, the box office was strong, but it also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"Why is it that the picture that appears inside is not my home team?"

The average fan of a small team would naturally not be able to ask such a question, but fans of teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham would have an opinion, because the game scenes that appear in the movie are between Manchester United and Liverpool.

of.

Is it because I’m not a fan of Arsenal? Or is it that the Blues don’t have a good reputation?

In fact, it was not just the fans of other teams who did not appear in the screen who had objections, but also the fans of Liverpool were unhappy because in the game screen, their team was wearing away jerseys.

It's obviously a double club, why do you and Manchester United wear home jerseys?

Some people say that there are as many football hooligans as there are fans in the UK. This is definitely true, but it can also explain many problems. There are indeed many football hooligans in the UK.

Just because of this, fights broke out among many football hooligans.

But what's interesting is that most of the fights took place in London, and Manchester United fans were less attacked because they were far away.

In fact, most football hooligans say that football is higher than life and death, which is nonsense. Many people are just bored and causing trouble.

But the more violent they make, the higher the box office of "Second World" will be. On the one hand, the movie is indeed good-looking, and on the other hand, from a global perspective, no matter which two teams play, it is always their Premier League game.

, this kind of advertising effect will definitely be beneficial to other teams.

Even if I scold, I can only do it while watching the movie.

Universal Pictures didn't expect that it was just an advertisement to spread the cost, but it didn't expect that such a Premier League advertisement would directly detonate the film's box office in the UK.

In just one month, the box office of "The Second World" has surpassed "The Lion King" released this year and the British local film "Four Weddings and a Funeral", becoming the second highest box office in the British film history, second only to

"Jurassic Park".

But looking at the situation, "Second World" should be able to catch up soon.

Compared with breaking the global box office record of "Jurassic Park", it seems easier for "The Second World" to win the British box office record.

In fact, the box office performance in the UK this year has been very good. Before "The Second World", there were four movies with a box office of more than 20 million pounds. In addition to the two movies mentioned earlier, there are also "My Fair Daddy" and "The Second World".

Stone City Paradise".

With the box office performance of these movies, any one of them would have a chance to win the annual box office championship in other years, but there is no way, this year's box office competition is so cruel. Although "Stone City Paradise" also has more than 20 million

However, it only ranked fifth at the box office in pounds sterling.



"Did you get kicked out by Teacher Yu again?"

As soon as Jia Zhangke entered the poetry reading activity classroom, he saw Ruan Xiaohu lowering his head to read a book, and joked with a smile. Jia Zhangke knew that Ruan Xiaohu didn't usually go out, and he would only go out when the teacher asked him to.

Ruan Xiaohu nodded, "The teacher ordered me to stay outside for three hours today before I can go back."

"Haha, actually you should go out of school for a walk. There is not much difference between staying here and staying in the dormitory." Jia Zhangke said with a smile, "Are there any new works in the past two days?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, I have just been reading for the past two days."

"By the way, do you still remember the last time I told you that you were going to turn your story "Little Tiger" into a script? I have already started writing it and I will show it to you when it is finished."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Jia Zhangke said that he wanted to change "Little Tiger" into a script, but Ruan Xiaohu didn't pay much attention to it. In his opinion, Jia Zhangke was just using this novel to practice.

"I have no money now. When I make a movie later, I will help you pay for the licensing fee." Jia Zhangke said again.

Before Jia Zhangke met Ruan Xiaohu in person, he had read the novel "Little Tiger" in a magazine, and at that time he had the idea of ​​making this novel into a movie.

What he didn't expect was that the author himself would be signed by Principal Wu.

It was not a sensation when Ruan Xiaohu became the writer-in-residence at Jinyi University, but Wu Changxin still posted a notice on the notification board. When Jia Zhangke saw the notice, he felt that he was very destined to "Little Tiger", and his previous thoughts changed.

more intense.

Jia Zhangke thought for a moment, closed Ruan Xiaohu's book, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk. It's not a good thing to stay in school all the time."

"Where to go?" Ruan Xiaohu asked.

"Go to Jinling University, we have a branch there."

Ruan Xiaohu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

It's better to go for a walk, otherwise the teacher will ask him where he has been and he won't know how to answer.

The Jinling University branch is the most developed among all branches. It had its own mobile classroom very early. When Jia Zhangke and Ruan Xiaohu arrived, there were seven or eight students in the mobile classroom.

Jia Zhangke came here often and looked familiar. When they saw him, the students in the classroom greeted him one after another.

"President Jia, you are here to inspect the work again today."

The president of the poetry reading club is Liu Changmin, but Jia Zhangke usually does a lot of things, so many people jokingly call him President Jia.

Jia Zhangke was also used to it. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's see how your branch has developed recently. By the way, I will introduce an important person to you."

When the others heard what he said, they all looked at Ruan Xiaohu.

"This is Ruan Xiaohu." Jia Zhangke introduced.

When they heard the name Ruan Xiaohu, the seven or eight people had different reactions, some were indifferent, and some were surprised.

Someone asked, "Is it Ruan Xiaohu, the author of "Little Tiger" and "Lingshan"?"

Jia Zhangke looked at the other party and said with a smile, "Old Yan, you still have a good memory. Ruan Xiaohu is now the writer-in-residence of our Jinyi School. There is nothing to do today, so I will bring him over to see everyone."

Ruan Xiaohu also greeted them, "Hello everyone."

"Hello."

The students responded, but they didn’t know what to call them. Let’s call them names. After all, Ruan Xiaohu is a writer who has published many articles. Let’s call him teacher. Ruan Xiaohu is too young, younger than most of them.

"You can just call me Xiaohu." Ruan Xiaohu said.

"Teacher Xiaohu." They still consciously added the word teacher.

The word "teacher" makes Ruan Xiaohu feel a little embarrassed. What kind of teacher he is, he just wrote a few unknown novels. In his heart, the teacher should be like Yu Dong.

But if someone calls him that, he can't say anything.

In fact, Ruan Xiaohu's novels are more famous than he thought. When "Little Tiger" came out, it attracted a lot of attention.

Nowadays, he is different from those writers who submit articles everywhere every day. Many magazines take the initiative to ask him to write articles. In Yu Hua's words, this is called famous.

Writers are rare creatures. Regardless of whether they have read Ruan Xiaohu's novels or not, when students see a writer coming over, they naturally can't help but want to get closer and see the real person.

Therefore, soon a circle of people gathered around Ruan Xiaohu.
